Pinnacle Arkose 3 2018 specification

Pinnacle Arkose 3 2018 from Evans Cycles
Looking suspiciously similar to my 2019 Cannondale Topstone 105, here’s Mark’s Pinnacle Arkose 3.

Except Pinnacle – and Mark – got there first as this is the 2018 model and as you can tell from the specs, they are pretty much spot on with the Topstone. It shows the Arkose models are always worth checking out for decent bikes and value for money.

An early On-One Inbred still lurks in the back of the stable as a reminder of how things have moved on. You can even find him on road bikes - currently a 2019 Cannondale Topstone 105 SE, a much-used 2011 Specialized Secteur and very niche belt drive Trek District 1.

If you've ever wondered how we got into mountain biking and how the MuddyMoles started, well wonder no more.

    I Have this very same model for 3 years now. I have used it for the main part on gravel and dirt. The freehub gave up on me pretty quickly. Replaced a lot of parts in time (which is normal ). I Love the bike, there is something about it 🙂 .
    Love the handle bars. I installed a di2 front and rear derraileur which makes it an even more fun bike. I ride it a lot. Love the fact that you can ride 700cx45 (and maybe even 50) . Pretty stable and durable
